EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK

The intent of the design on this two-acre property was to create a powerfully distinct
precinct separate from the untouched woods on the property and the adjacent land. This
intense contrast powerfully underlines the relationship between nature and art. Magnificent
and unusual flowers, shrubs and trees overlay the structure of the garden created by trees and
hedges. Large native trees which are part of the forest dictated the placement of the house and
the structure of the landscape so that these trees become landmarks, marking space and making
manifest their sculptural quality.
